1920 Penny 3+B

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of any pictures of a 1920 Penny 3+B? The Rotographic book states it is extremely rare. 

So far I can only find pictures of the 2+B

I might get lucky one day and spot one. Out of interest what would be the prices on one of these?

Apparently there's only one, and it's in the British Museum - all is revealed on this thread from 2014 

You can write a quick post thanking me later, Ian, as I've had to spend a fair bit of time searching for you ;):ph34r:

I don't think the chances are very high Ian, as far as I know the only known one is sitting in the British museum. There is a picture lurking somewhere I'm sure I've seen it, if I find it I'll post back here for you.

I must admit, Matt, I hadn't realised they were quite that rare. Took a look at some of the major collections and at some LCA auctions before discovering the thread linked to above :)

Thank you 1949, your time and effort is appreciated. It sounds like my chances are slim to non - existent of finding this one.

However you never know one day I may get lucky, probably the same day I find a 1933 in the same envelope or on eBay as a two for one deal.

I am going to keep looking but in the meantime the next time I am near the British Museum I will pop in and hopefully see it for real.
